Honda Innova 1st view....
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2018 11:32 am
Just done 2 days of commuting on the Innova i bought, I paid £500 for it from a mate with no MOT and a rattly camchain. I got Tyres for £20 from Horobags (cheers) a cam chain from Greece £8, a gasket kit £8, the correct flywheel tool £14 and fitted a standard chain guard £14,
This means that including the MOT it owes me just short of £600.
The camchain took about 2 hours to do and its really sweet sounding now. The tyres are the standard fair that it came with, Dunlop tt900's.
After doing a proper calculation based on google maps and the amount of fuel I put in over a few trips, its averaging 156mpg, this is me sitting at 50mph. I'm not very heavy so that'll have helped.
Compared to a Cub???? Not as much fun and nowhere near the character but I wouldn't have found a useable tidy Cub for anywhere near 600 quid...
Pretty pleased and it'll save me about 150 quid a month in fuel costs.
Just need to sort luggage out now.
